Ingredients
The crust
1 ShiftSetGo Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal packet
1 large egg white
1 oz water
The filling
3 oz water
4 True Lime Water Enhancer flavor packets, divided use
1 stevia packet, or to taste
1 ShiftSetGo Vanilla Pudding & Shake Mix packet
The meringue
2 large egg whites
1 stevia packet, or to taste
The garnish
Thinly sliced lime wedges, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Set aside.
- To make the crust: In a medium bowl, stir together the oatmeal packet, egg white and water. The dough should be stiff, but manageable.
- Moisten your hands with warm water and divide the dough into 6 small dough balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Place each dough ball in the prepared muffin pan and press it firmly with your hands to cover the bottom and a little up the sides of each muffin cup.
- Bake about 5 minutes or until set. Cool completely.
- To make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the water and three of the True Lime flavor packets. Stir until dissolved.
- Add stevia to taste and stir until dissolved.
- Add the vanilla pudding packet and stir until dissolved.
- Cover and refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes. Once set, stir in the remaining packet of True Lime. Divide the filling evenly between the 6 muffin cups and place them in the fridge to set.
- To make the meringue topping: In a small bowl, beat the egg whites with a wire whisk or hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Add stevia to taste and stir gently to combine. Stir carefully to not deflate the mixture.
- Place a dollop of meringue on top of each tar and garnish with a lime slice to serve.
Key Lime Mini Tarts Tips
For a crispy tart shell, take them out of the tins after 5 minutes of baking and turn them upside down on top of the tin. Bake for a few more minutes or until brown.
For an extra lime zing, garnish with a sprinkling of fresh lime zest. (It also adds a nice pop of color!)
Store them in the fridge in an airtight container. Don’t store them for too long though. They should be eaten within 1-2 days or they’ll start to dry out.
